“Explosive… A riveting post-apocalyptic zombie series.” – Kyla Stone (Author of Edge of Collapse series) “Fantastic zombie read!” – L. Liberty (Vine Voice) “It’s a long time since I have read a compelling series such as this.” – Claire Mulderrig (Author of Four Women of the Apocalypse)Book 1Two sisters, one nightmare.The last thing they wanted to do was spend time with each other. Now their … was spend time with each other. Now their very survival depends on it.
Forced from their home and thrown into an apocalyptic horror neither could have imagined, they didn’t think things could get any worse. They were wrong.
As they navigate the city to escape to safety, terror lurks for them on every corner. The reanimating virus has taken away everything they loved, but today, they’re going to start fighting back.
Living or dead, everyone is a threat. The rules have changed and for these two, time is running out. What will they do to survive? What will they do for each other? Is being family reason enough to stay together? Now, they’re about to find out.
Book 2
For sisters Robyn and Wren, nothing will ever be the same.
The cities are burning, the world is in chaos. The dead are rising…and they’re hungry. Safety? Security? These words are meaningless now. They fight, they hide, they run. No rest. No respite.
All they can cling to is hope. Hope they can find others. Hope they can learn the skills needed to survive. Hope they can stay together.
Their situation seems desperate, and the only thing they can depend on is each other.
But is that enough?
Book 3
Before the worst day of their lives, wild horses could not pull them together. Now, nothing can tear them apart…or so they thought.
A chance meeting, a bad decision, a stormy night; and the fuse is lit to their most explosive 24 hours yet.
When the dead roam the streets; when enemies prowl in the shadows, and when strangers are not all they seem, the only people Wren and Robyn can rely on are each other.
They have fought through hell together, but now, for one of these sisters, today could be the end of everything.

Great fast-paced zompoc series with strong female leads! Highly recommend!!!
The End of Everything Box Set (Books 1-3) by Christopher Artinian and narrated by Kim Bretton is a fantastic zombie series! Highly recommend if you are searching for a new zombie series, looking for strong female leads, love well-written stories, or are new to Christopher. Be aware that when you start, you will have a difficult time putting them down (brace yourself for 17 hours folks, seriously).
I listened to the books again for the boxed set and it held up to my original thoughts on the series (I even enjoyed it more the second time around). Book one starts with two sisters, Robyn (Bobby) and Wren struggling to find safety in the zombie apocalypse. They meet some not-so-good people, some good, and some straight up crazies. If you aren’t sure about Robyn at first, stick with it because she develops into someone you will like. Book two the characters continue to develop/story unfolds as the group navigates through the apocalypse with some loses and gains. Book three continues with the sisters dealing with new threats and not knowing who to trust and of course, zombies! The action is fast-paced, frequent, intense, and increases as the series goes on. The banter between the two sister’s gives it a hint of realness and it’s what I’d expect if a zombie apocalypse was to occur. The character development is great and you see the sister’s become a force to be reckoned with.
Kim does a wonderful job as narrator and is a perfect fit. She brings the sister’s to life, has good pace, and overall adds to the story.
I highly recommend this series. Between Christopher’s writing and Kim’s narrations, it flows in all the right ways. There’s a reason these books get so many 5 star reviews. P.S. I’m still waiting for a network to make one of his series into a TV show/mini-series (Hey Amazon, you reading this?).
Parental guidance/trigger warnings: This is the zompoc folks- death, violence, occasional swearing, weapons, crazies and not nice people, drinking, or like things occur.
I was given a free review copy of the audiobooks at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the books because they are awesome!
Another fun dose of sisterly snark wrapped up in a lovely box set and beautifully presented by Kim Breton’s dulcet tones. I couldn’t put it down, I was sucked straight back into the story and right back on the emotional rollercoaster as the sisters braved their first excursions into the nightmare their world has become. I loved how Robyn and Wren’s relationship grows as the story progresses, and Robyn discovers her own strength and confidence along with a very useful new talent! Wren’s wisdom shines through as they attract new friends and enemies. As the journey continues, Robyn and Wren’s growing bond and ingenuity amazed me, while the loss they faced was heart breaking. I can’t give this series enough stars or recommend it highly enough, this is one series that shouldn’t be missed if you love the zombie apocalypse genre, this is one of my all time favourites! I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
